Sleep apnea and memory in people with mild memory problems
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing, Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether sleep apnea (pauses in breathing during sleep) is linked to thinking and memory in people who have mild memory problems. You will do a home sleep test and take memory tests to help researchers find this connection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial looks at how sleep apnea affects memory and brain health in people who have mild memory problems or are worried about their memory. You will have a sleep study and brain scans to see if treating sleep apnea could help protect your thinking skills.
This study looks at how common obstructive sleep apnea is and whether it’s linked to thinking and memory problems. It may help clarify which people with sleep apnea might be more likely to have cognitive difficulties.
This study looks at people who may have obstructive sleep apnea, a breathing problem during sleep. It aims to better understand the condition in Hong Kong and what to do next for diagnosis or care.
This study looks at how well home sleep apnea testing works for people with cognitive impairment (memory/thinking problems) to help improve outcomes. You may be asked to do a home sleep test (and possibly an in-lab test) and will involve a caregiver if needed.
This study tests whether treating sleep apnea can help protect memory and brain health in older adults. It involves using a CPAP machine or other treatments for sleep apnea and may include memory tests and brain scans over 2 years.
This study compares two treatments for sleep apnea (CPAP and a custom mouthpiece) to see which is better for patients who also have mild memory or thinking problems. Sleep apnea is a condition where breathing stops and starts during sleep. You may qualify if you have moderate-to-severe sleep apnea and mild cognitive impairment.
